Ladybug Birthday in 2026-2028 In Colors

For my card today I wanted to focus on the new 2026-2028 In Colors which will debut on May 5.  I had this vision to stamp the ladybugs in a row and color one in each color...then decided I really needed to use the Peaceful Pine to color my foliage rather than a ladybug.  I started with a sketch (of which this card looks absolutely nothing like except for the rectangle lol), then dove in and this is the result.  I am rather pleased with the looks of it.   It just goes to show you how you can start with an idea or sketch and it's only a jumping off point for your creativity.  To watch the YouTube video tutorial on how I put this card together, click this link.

Happy Birthday bee fun fold

For my project today, I'm bringing in a stamp set that was been around for a bit, hopefully, you have it on hand already.  It works for so many things.  I decided to make this a very easy fun fold card.  Just one extra score and voila, you have this fun fold made easily.  You will find a video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link. 




Supplies and measurements: 
Bee My Valentine stamps 162547
Bee Builder Punch 162553
Valentine Kisses bundle* 167310 (includes stamps & coordinating dies)

I hope you give this fun fold a try.  I did have a bit of trouble using the small little bird as an anchor to keep the card closed during the video.  I revamped it, cut the bird die in thick basic white three times, glued each layer on top of the other and added my stamped bird image over the top.  I then placed a double stack of glue dots on my card where I needed it and added the bird stack to the glue dots.  It isn't perfect, but it works with such a small image.  

You will find all the supplies I've used today in my online store by clicking on the shopping cart to the right.  Thank you so much for stopping by!  I'm so pleased you did.

Until next time; be happy, good health to you and happy stamping!

Birthday Bear Pop-Up flower card

 Are we ready for the holidays?  I am not ready yet.  I still have a bit of shopping to do and all the wrapping.  I'm hoping to get that done this week.  I have moved on from Christmas projects though, and today, I'm using a Valentine set as a birthday card.  I wanted to show how the Valentine Kisses bundle can be used for things other than Valentine's Day.  Get you to think outside the box.  If you missed the post for Wednesday, you'll want to check that out and see how I made a treat box with this set.  I have a video tutorial for you on how to make this card step-by-step over on my YouTube channel.  You will find the video by clicking this link.  I hope you will give it a try.  They are so fun to make and Stampin' Up! has made it so easy with the new die set!
